Time to test the work in progress
At Xavier's request, Logan called Natasha to let her know the professor was confident enough in the progress Misha had made to agree to test the young man in a controlled situation. For that, a member of Misha's family was necessary to provide the triggering event. Either Natasha or Anya would do, but Logan was certain Natasha would come herself.

	Repaired was the hope. Patched was probably more accurate. "Tash. Mikey's down in the Danger Room workin' off some energy before he sees ya. You up for this?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Did it really matter if she was up for it or not? Mikhail was her son and she had to see if he was okay. "I'm armed and I have a tranq. Can't really get any more ready." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Logan nodded. "You need to know, Xavier dug through a lot of crap in his head. From what he said, I'm surprised this didn't happen months ago. He'll need monitorin' for awhile an' Xavier wants to keep seein' him regularly." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm well aware of Red Room can do to a person's mind, let alone Weapon X," she said. There were times when she wondered what else was lurking in her own mind, left there by Red Room. She nodded. "He needs to see someone on a regular basis." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-10-25 05:49 am UTC (link)
	"C'mon." He opened the front door for her. "As long as he thinks he might someday be a danger to you an' Anya, he might cooperate if we're united on him seeing Xavier." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 05:58 am UTC (link)
	"I would hate lying to him," she said carefully, "but if it got him the help he needed. I don't have a doubt about him seeing Xavier. It's a necessary evil." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Around here we call it a teacher-student conference." He led her down to the sub-basement level where the Danger Room was in use. From the control room, they watched Misha facing off with a simulated Sabretooth. "He's obsessed with learnin' Creed's fightin' style." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It comes from no place strange," she said. "I'm still trying to find out information on those kids. Haven't found much." She intently watched her son. Natasha had usually been in there with him and never really got the chance to just watch him. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Don't think ya will, either. They were either erased or never in the system to start. I didn't know Creed had a boy, but maybe if I go back twenty years an' track what he was doin', I might get a line on the mother." When the program drew to a close, Logan shut it down. Below them, Misha dropped to the floor, sweaty and exhausted. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 06:54 am UTC (link)
	"I'll keep looking," she said. "You look on that front and maybe between the two of us, we'll find something useful." "Ready to do this?" she asked. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	nextgen_parent 2009-10-25 07:10 am UTC (link)
	"Ready as we'll ever get. I'll hang back by the door an' let you handle it. Xavier's monitorin' from his office." He opened the Danger Room door. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 07:12 am UTC (link)
	He'd pushed himself as hard as he could and he was literally dripping with sweat. It was the only way he knew to get a handle on what Nicholas Creed was and why he carried on a feud that had nothing to do with him or Misha. When the door opened, he lifted his head to see who was coming in. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 07:14 am UTC (link)
	Natasha stopped in the doorway and smiled. "Hi, honey." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 07:27 am UTC (link)
	Misha summoned a tired smile. "Got the Mounties with you?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 07:29 am UTC (link)
	"I don't know if Dad was ever a Mountie or not," she said with a small smile. She took a step inside. "How are you? How are you feeling?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 07:37 am UTC (link)
	"I'm okay." He remained on the floor and tucked his hands under his thighs. "I don't think Dad ever had the urge to kiss his horse goodnight. How is everybody at your house?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 07:39 am UTC (link)
	Time for a true test. "Stand up and give your mother a hug. I won't accept anything less," she told him. "Crazy as always. They're all doing well." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 07:52 am UTC (link)
	He hesitated a second before slowly getting to his feet. "I'm pretty smelly," he said. "Maybe I should shower first." His attempt to postpone the moment of truth was obvious. He didn't scare easily, but not knowing what would come out of his own head was beyond scary. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 07:55 am UTC (link)
	"I won't let a little sweat and smell keep me from getting a hug." She smiled reassuringly at him. "You won't hurt me, sweetheart. I know you won't." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 08:11 am UTC (link)
	He moved slowly toward her, unwilling to make a sudden move. He wished he had her certainty about it. If she didn't really mean it, he couldn't tell. When he reached her, he hesitated again before putting his arms around her, waiting for that inexplicable surge of MDK, but it wasn't there. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 08:13 am UTC (link)
	Natasha hugged him tightly. "See? Trust your old mother," she said softly. "I love you so much, sweetheart." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 08:22 am UTC (link)
	Misha tightened his arms around her. "I'm sorry, Mom." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 08:25 am UTC (link)
	"Don't be," she said as she pulled back a little and kissed his cheek. "It wasn't your fault. There's nothing to be sorry about and nothing to feel guilty about." She smiled a little and brushed a lock of hair out of his eyes. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	mishaloganovich 2009-10-25 09:00 am UTC (link)
	It was such a familiar gesture he nearly squeezed her again. There was a stranger living in his head. Xavier was helping him get rid of it. "The professor says I have a ways to go but I shouldn't be dangerous to you anymore." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	redheadspy 2009-10-25 09:10 am UTC (link)
	Natasha smiled and hugged him. "I'm so glad to hear that. Anya and Eliza will be glad to hear that too. They've missed you." She reluctantly released him. "Just keep working with him. That's all Dad and I ask." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)
